This document describes the changes made to the Kernel application.

+
Kernel 4.1.1 + +
Fixed Bugs and Malfunctions + + +

+ Host name lookups though inet_res, the Erlang DNS + resolver, are now done case insensitively according to + RFC 4343. Patch by Holger Weiß.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-12836

+
+ +

+ IPv6 distribution handler has been updated to share code + with IPv4 so that all features are supported in IPv6 as + well. A bug when using an IPv4 address as hostname has + been fixed.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13040

+
+ +

+ Caching of host names in the internal DNS resolver + inet_res has been made character case insensitive for + host names according to RFC 4343.

+

+ Own Id: OTP-13083

+
+ +

Cooked file mode buffering has been fixed so + file:position/2 now works according to Posix on Posix + systems i.e. when file:position/2 returns an error the + file pointer is unaffected.

The Windows system + documentation, however, is unclear on this point so the + documentation of file:position/2 still does not promise + anything.

Cooked file mode file:pread/2,3 and + file:pwrite/2,3 have been corrected to honor character + encoding like the combination of file:position/2 and + file:read/2 or file:write/2 already does. This is + probably not very useful since the character + representation on the caller's side is latin1, + period.

Improvements and New Features + + +

+ Add {line_delim, byte()} option to inet:setopts/2 and + decode_packet/3
